Abstract: A device for scent training an animal includes a housing having a front panel in which at least one scent opening is formed, at least one sensor for each scent opening, at least one closeable target scent container for receiving a target scent substance, a coupling device for the target scent containers, a reward device for issuing a reward to the animal, and a control device coupled to the sensors, the coupling device, and the reward device. Each sensor monitors whether the animal puts its nose into the respective scent opening and sends a corresponding notification signal to the control device. The control device activates the coupling device and the reward device in dependence on the notification signals and/or according to a predetermined program.
